Gynae ~ Sanfujinka no Onna Tachi - Autumn 2009

Fujiwara Norika, Itaya Yuuka and Matsushita Yuki will be starring in the NTV autumn drama, "Gine ~ Sanfujinka no Onna Tachi" (Gynae ~ The Women in the Gynaecology Department) which begins in October. This is the first time that Fujiwara is playing a gynaecologist and her character is a cold and serious woman who only cares about saving the lives of the mothers and babies but clashes with the people around her during the process. In preparation for the role, Fujiwara sought the permission of a mother to witness the Caesarean birth of her child and realized that it was a tense process as the medical staff tried to ensure the safety of both mother and child. As such, she could finally understand the rationale of her character's thinking even though she admitted that she was shocked that her character was someone who doesn't even say thank you to people.
